--I'm looking forward to it.
# going to the Grand Canyon
--Hey Laura, I'm thinking about going to Grand Canyon this summer.
--Hmm...but I wanted to go to the beach with you.
--We went to the beach last year. Could we go to the Grand Canyon this time?
--Okay Chip. If you want it that bad, we'll go there.
--Thank you. We'll take a flight.
--Sure! No problem. Book the tickets in advance.
# an office trip
--The office is planning a 3-day weekend trip to San Francisco. Are you coming?
--When's that?
--Next Friday. The entire office is going.
--Friday? Oh no, I've promised my son we'll go fishing that weekend.
--Well, that's a shame you won't come then.
--I don't think so. I can't let my son down.
--I understand. We'll miss you.
# advance booking
--Hey Chip, did you book the hotel and the flights for our vacation?
--Oops! I'm sorry Laura. I forgot all about it.

--Of course. I'm going to go online and book the flight right now.
--Good, and don't forget about the hotel.
--We need a double room for 2 days starting Friday.
--Absolutely. I'm also going to hire a taxi to take us from the hotel around the town.
--Oh yes! I forgot all about the taxi. Thanks for remembering that.
--No problems. I'll make the bookings right away.
